Johannes,

That looks a lovely shape - very graceful.

My one question is how tight is the radius on the very back of the body, as you've got to get the skin to bend around it? If you can get bendy ply, then it's no problem.

I like the shape. Looks simular to the one I picked. Here's the template I cut. I am now building the walls. Andrew I used your method to draw the elipse. It worked great. I used some tiny wheels from some tiny pulley's and some 16ga wire.

Johannes,

Nice profile!! I like the use of side opening doors in the back too, really expands the usable space. Always enjoy seeing an inovative design and can't wait to see how you get the materials to conform to those radii, please take lots of pictures.

Thats what I was thinking, Plus the bend will make up the doors so I could just cut strips and form it up with fiber glass.
Gonna paint and cover any how...
I may be back on here with that topic!!! :
